Electroexcitation of rotational vibrations inDy164

Abstract
We calculate the M1 spectrum and the distorted-wave Born-approximation (e,e’) form factors of the strong Kπ =1+ states in Dy164, using a deformed Woods-Saxon potential and the quasiparticle random-phase approximation with quadrupole, spin, and spin-quadrupole interactions. A residual rotation-vibrational coupling ensures the exclusion of the spurious state. We find strongly orbital M1 states at 3.1 MeV which fit the experimental spectrum very well and exhaust 40% of the collectivity of the 1+ mode. The form factor of the lowest one of these states is also in a good agreement with the experimental form factor.
